Shsohis, I had the Xono, went to the ASR Basis Exclusive and went again to my current phono stage the Audia Flight. I would heartily recommend the Audia over the other two choices as it is(almost) a one box solution, provides for both MC and MM input, provides RCA in and RCA and XLR out, is incredibly quiet, very well built and most important sounds sensational in both MM and MC mode (after extended running in I hasten to add).
You can turn it off and power it back up in about 60 seconds and pricing is not outrageous and very reasonable used. I must state, however that I leave my equipment with the exception of the power amp on 24/7 and always have.
